The cost to rent each chair is $1.5 and cost to rent each table is $6.5

<h3>Applications of systems of linear equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the cost to rent each chair and each table

Let c represent chair

and

t represent table

From the given information,

The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $27

That is,

5c + 3t = 27 ------------ (1)

Also,

The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $81

That is,

2c + 12t = 81 ---------- (2)

Now, solve the equations simultaneously

5c + 3t = 27 ------------ (1)

2c + 12t = 81 ---------- (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and multiply equation (2) by 5

2 × [5c + 3t = 27 ]

5 × [2c + 12t = 81 ]

10c + 6t = 54        ------------- (3)

10c + 60t = 405   ------------- (4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

10c + 6t = 54        

10c + 60t = 405

---------------------------

-54t = -351

t = -351/-54

t = 6.5

Substitute the value of t into equation (2)
2c + 12t = 81

2c + 12(6.5) = 81

2c + 78 = 81

2c = 81 - 78

2c = 3

c = 3/2

c = 1.5

∴ The cost of chair is $1.5 and cost of table is $6.5

Hence, the cost to rent each chair is $1.5 and cost to rent each table is $6.5

An open box is to be constructed so that the length of the base is 3 times larger than the width of the base. If the cost to con
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the volume = 88 cubic feet

Then:

L = 3w --- (1)volume = l \times w \times h \\ \\ 88 =  (3w)   \times w  \times h \\ \\ 3w^2 h= 88 \\ \\ h = \dfrac{88}{3w^2}--- (2) \\ \\

The construction cost now is:

C = 4(l \times w) + 2 ( w  \times h) + 2(l \times h) \\ \\ C = 4(3w^2) + 2(w  \times \dfrac{88}{3w^2}) + 2(3w \times \dfrac{88}{3w^2}) \\\\ C = 12w^2 + \dfrac{176}{3w} + \dfrac{176}{w}

Now, to determine the minimum cost:

\dfrac{dC}{dw}= 0  \\ \\ \implies 24 w - \dfrac{176}{3w^2}- \dfrac{176}{w^2}=0 \\ \\ 24 w ^3 = \dfrac{176}{w^2}(\dfrac{1}{3}+1) \\ \\ 24 w ^3 = \dfrac{176(4)}{3} \\ \\ w^3 = \dfrac{88}{3(3)}

w = \dfrac{88}{3(3)}^{1/3} \ feet

Now;

length = 3 ( \dfrac{88}{3(3)})^{1/3} \ feet

height = ( 88})^{1/3} (3)^{1/3} \ feet
